New Jersey Devils vs Anaheim Ducks Betting Preview
The Anaheim Ducks are off to a surprising start under Joel Quenneville, sitting 6-3-1 and looking sharp at home. They’ll try to extend their winning streak Sunday against the New Jersey Devils, who bounced back with a strong 4-1 win over Los Angeles on Saturday night.
Anaheim has scored five or more goals four times this season, with Leo Carlsson and Troy Terry driving the offense. The Ducks have also taken eight of their last ten home meetings against New Jersey.
The Devils remain one of the NHL’s top teams at 9-3-0. Coach Sheldon Keefe’s squad leads the Metropolitan Division thanks to elite scoring depth from Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt, while Jacob Markstrom steadied things with a 43-save performance in L.A.

Matchup Breakdown
Devils outlook: New Jersey ranks top-six in goals scored and continues to dominate on the power play. Dawson Mercer’s surge (five goals in three games) adds punch behind Hughes and Bratt. If Markstrom starts again, expect stability in net, but a back-to-back may give Jake Allen the crease.
Ducks outlook: Anaheim’s transition game has improved, with Carlsson creating speed through the neutral zone and Terry finishing in rhythm. They rank top-10 in power play conversion and have covered three straight puck lines. Quenneville’s defensive structure has also helped young goalie Lukas Dostal stay confident at home.
